5 Winter Amenities Airbnb Guests Search For (Plus What They Cost)

Spas add 8 to 27% to annual revenue in mountain markets, and these winter amenities keep you from getting filtered out of search.

This episode is for owners of short-term rentals in cold, snowy or mountain markets who want to be found in search. I walk through the winter amenities worth adding, from hot tubs and fire pits to saunas, EV chargers and small comfort items. We cover what they cost and how to match them to your guest profile. After listening, you can pick which upgrades fit your property and photograph them for your listing.

What you'll get out of this:
- Airbnb ranks the hot tub as the 6th most searched filter worldwide, so skipping one can hide you
- Airbnb does not filter 12-seaters from 4-seaters, so a cheap inflatable spa still helps your search ranking
- A sauna only fits when your average night rate is high, like $400 or $500, not $65
- Cold weather drains electric vehicle batteries faster, so a Level 2 charger and covered parking help guests in snow
